110: Cara Macklin on How Business Is A Family Thing

Cara, a  Next-Gen Entrepreneur, grew up in her family business in Northern Ireland. At 8 she had her first business failure making jewellery and opened her first profitable business at 15 running buses to local nightclubs. With 15 years as Director of her family business, a multi-million healthcare & hospitality group which grew from 3 businesses with 250 staff to 7 businesses & 600 staff.

With a passion for Innovation & Scaling, Cara disrupted the Healthcare Industry creating Ireland’s 1st Lifestyle Care Home, cited by IoD Chair as a ’World Class’ concept. Her biggest decision was leaving the family business, believing her journey scaling 8-figure businesses & disrupting an industry could help other Next-Gen Family Entrepreneurs make a real positive impact.

In 2020 she launched her own business Caram, an innovative scaling system using proven methods from her journey. She founded Caram with one single goal in mind;
